Lion LDAP Authentication Problem

Hi helpers,

we are using an OpenLDAP server to authenticate our users to different desktop machines. Using SL everything worked just perfect. Now, I upgraded to 10.7 and the login of the LDAP users does not work anymore. I can see all users of the LDAP server listed in the directory service. Furthermore, using dscacheutil, I can get the uid and so on from the LDAP server. Just the password authentification does not work. Using "su", I get "su: Sorry" all the time.

Thanks for your help

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

Thanks Sam! With the modification described in the link you provided, along with the modification found in a reply there (http://www.fh-trier.de/index.php?id=12207), we were able to get our Lion clients authenticating against OpenLDAP.

I am having the same issue and would like to try the workaround from Jeff Strunk, but the link is broken. Could anybody post it again ?

Thanks
